Two WinXP Home Pc's.
192.168.1.100 - Wired
192.168.1.101 - Wireless with an installed printer.
Both connect to a Linksys Router WRT54G 192.168.1.1 which has a
connection to the internet.
The other day, I installed a VNC Server service onto the wireless
machine, so I could help troubleshoot the box when the user was having
trouble.
Internet connection is fine for both.
Soon after, I noticed that my pc (the wired one) had a new ip on the
LAN, 192.168.1.102. The Wireless' IP had remained the same.
However, the wired cannot ping or print to the printer of the wireless
machine. Internet connection is still fine for both, and we can both
ping the router.
Here's what I just found out. I manually changed my IP to an assigned
IP, 192.168.1.100, which is back to what it had been before.
Now I can't see the internet, but I can ping the wireless machine and
the router.
So the gist of it is - the wired box can see the internet if I let the
system automatically assign an IP, but if I need to print something or
do some Multi-gaming I need to manually set the IP to 192.168.1.100.
What can I do to get this weird behavior resolved?
Thanks for your patience,
